Education Surrogacy Pro Bono Project Training

Date: Saturday, September 10, 2016
Time: 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Description: Education Surrogacy provides students in the foster care system with "surrogate parents "for their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings. IEPs help to address and accommodate any specific educational needs the student may have. These meetings convene parents, teachers, therapists, and others who can ensure that the child receive appropriate accommodation. Surrogate Parents advocate for the child in the same manner as a parent or guardian. Their job includes getting to know the student and his or her needs, and then ensuring the school provides the student with everything to which he or she is entitled. Trainees will receive pro bono hours for their attendance. Lunch will be provided.
